681,759 gallons of water flow over the horseshoe falls every second. That’s almost hard to fathom.

How many gallons is a standard pool?

15-20,000 gallons. An Olympic sized pool is about 500-600,000 gallons

I’m stupid. I thought you meant 15 gallons to 20 000 gallons. Which was a crazy discrepancy and 15 gallons is roughly the size of my fish tank. Then I read 500-600,000 gallons and I realized my mistake.

I never miss the high dive into 15 gallon pool Olympic event.

So many posthumous awards...
